genetlink: Optimize and one bug fix in genl_generate_id()
1. GENL_MIN_ID is a valid id -> no need to start at
GENL_MIN_ID + 1.
2. Avoid going through the ids two times: If we start at
GENL_MIN_ID+1 (*or bigger*) and all ids are over!, the
code iterates through the list twice (*or lesser*).
3. Simplify code - no need to start at idx=0 which gets
reset to GENL_MIN_ID.
Patch on net-next-2.6. Reboot test shows that first id
passed to genl_register_family was 16, next two were
GENL_ID_GENERATE and genl_generate_id returned 17 & 18
(user level testing of same code shows expected values
across entire range of MIN/MAX).
